AUTOMATIC WEEKLY ALERTS
Families hear about it the same week, automatically
Every week Connect emails students, parents and administrators about any course a student is at risk of failing, with this week's and last week's grade. Teachers no longer have to write those emails by hand.
Students
A clear, encouraging note with their grades and a nudge to meet their teacher and make a plan.
Parents and guardians
The same grades plus ways to help, so families can step in early.
Administration
A weekly view of who was notified, so no student is missed.
Faculty time saved
No more weekly emails to every family. Connect sends them and stops once the grade recovers.

QUESTIONS
Answers about Connect
How does Connect help identify students at risk of failing?
It combines weekly LMS grades with teacher check-ins, so emerging difficulties are easier to notice and address before they become course failures.
How do students benefit?
Students have more chances to raise concerns, understand where they stand, and work with a teacher on steps to get back on track.
Do parents hear about it?
Yes. Connect emails parents and guardians every week while their student is at risk of failing a course, and stops once the grade recovers.
How do school leaders benefit?
Leaders get a consistent, schoolwide picture of risk, so teams can focus support where students need it.
Will Connect guarantee fewer course failures?
No tool can guarantee a result. Connect is designed to support earlier identification and communication, so educators have more chances to step in.
